Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1223

"The cupcakes are for my guest. How can you buy cheap ones?" Bianca chided, thinking that the caretaker was deliberately tarnishing her reputation.

The caretaker felt aggrieved, but she was afraid that she might lose her job. She could only apologize. "Sorry, Madam. I'll go and get new cupcakes for your guest."

Grace thought that Bianca and the caretaker were being dramatic. She shook her head and said, "It's fine, Bianca. I don't think she's usually this inconsiderate, but I'm sure it's because she wants to take care of you. The cupcakes aren't very delicious, but I can get some better ones delivered. Do you want to eat anything?"

"Alright then. You don't have to get any food for me. When I'm better, I'll treat you to some delicious dessert," Bianca said with a smile, then glared angrily at the caretaker.

The caretaker had bought cheap cupcakes for her guest. If Grace was not so magnanimous, she might even think that Bianca was neglected in the household.

The caretaker smiled gratefully at Grace for helping her.

Grace smiled but said nothing. She took out her phone and ordered some food delivery.

She had her motives for helping the caretaker. If Bianca invited her over one day, the caretaker would already have had a good impression of her.

After all, she was more understanding and kind than the Madam of the household…

After ordering her food, Grace asked Bianca, "Right, where's your husband? You're in the hospital, but he isn't around."

Grace had only seen Luke's face in the television and newspapers. She had never seen him in real life before.

She had another reason for coming to the hospital. If she could meet Luke in the flesh, it was another thing for her to brag about.

Bianca had calmed down earlier, but she was angry again when Luke's name was mentioned. However, she had to protect Luke's reputation as a caring husband, so she smiled gently and said, "Luke is busy with his work. I'm not very ill anyway, so after I woke up, I told him that he should go back to his company to catch up on his work."

When the caretaker heard that, she could not help but think, "Are you sure that you're the one who told Luke to leave? You were so angry when you found out that Luke had left you alone in the hospital.'

Grace did not agree with it. "He can do his work some other time. You're sick, and he should be taking care of you."

Bianca was not very pleased when she heard that.

Usually, Grace would know how to read the atmosphere, but sometimes, she can be quite annoying with her words.

"I'm fine with it," she said.

Grace only shrugged when she heard that.

Johann knocked on the door and came into the room. He smiled when he saw that Bianca was already awake. "How do you feel, Sis?"

"I feel better after the injection. Thank you, Dr. Park," Bianca said with a smile.

She was not very happy with Johann, but she had to remain civil toward Luke's friends. After all, those relationships were important.

Johann glanced at Grace sitting on the couch but said nothing. He picked up the digital thermometer and took Bianca's temperature. It was 100 degrees, and that was quite an improvement.

He looked around the room and did not see Luke. "Where's Luke?"

Bianca explained patiently, "I told him that he should go back to his company to work. It's not very serious anyway."

Johann did not call out on her lie. Instead, he shook his head and said, "That's Luke's fault. Work might be important, but his wife is in the hospital. How can work be more important than one's significant other?"

Before Luke left, he had told the director of internal medicine that Bianca was still sleeping and to call him if there was anything. Johann had overheard that conversation.
